Listened to 15 mins on China and Detroit. Obama was fair to middling. Romney was pathetic. Why Romney brought Detroit back up is totally beyond me. Huge mistake. Oh boy, America has a tough choice to make. In all fairness, it's hard for the challenger to win a foreign policy debate, but Romney's clumsiness helped Obama. His contrived empathy is hard for me to take. IMO, Obama looked sharper. I cut off before the closing statements.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/19/opinion/19romney.html?_r=1& Let Detroit Go Bankrupt By MITT ROMNEY Boston IF General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won’t go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed. . . . Given the complete lock in credit because of the unfolding financial crises, who lends to the these industrial giants? Who is the lender of last resort?

Obama did well. Romney should have attacked more on foreign policy. These next weeks will be interesting.
It started when Obama called out Romney on his Russia being the greatest threat line, and it just picked up from there. Obama with a definite win tonight. Romney loses 2 of the 3 debates. This was expected though with foreign policy being the topic.
An earlier poster talked about swing voters. That is exactly the kind of worthless blather swing voters hate. Some of you that love Romney: Explain why he brought up Detroit. Talk about a loser issue.

Agreed. As an undecided, I knew he was doing something to try to simply look good... and that his track record likely would hurt him. That sort of action is almost as transparent as Fox News' bias.
Strangest post of the night. Why is basso concerned with Azadre's financial portfolio? Kind of creepy actually.
